    My new DIY (kinda) rack/incubator/python center :D
    Hi guys! I FINALLY finished my small Ball Python 'Center'. Just wanted to share it with you all :)
    I started out with a 'wardrobe' frame from IKEA (saw a rack tutorial on YouTube involving IKEA and thought 'genius'!) and shelves.
    I am el crazy paranoid about the heat tape, since I've never used it before (and keep reading all these horror stories), so I put up strips of the foil tape as a buffer between the tape and back board. I do realize this is probably overkill :P

    Heat tape all installed! Yay!

    Shelves all in place!

    Tubs all in place! Almost there! Just need to let it get heated up :)

    Aaand DONE! Snakes are happy and tubs are juuuust about up to temp :)

    If anyone's interested, I'll post the tutorial up for my incubator once it's completely finished (need to install the heat tape I was waiting on) :) thanks for looking, guys!

    Thats basically what I did, I have three racks made from different Ikea furniture and using the bins from Ikea as well. I personally think its the best way to go. The most expensive part of my big female rack was the heating, I have a heat cable per shelf.

    If it's from an iphone, you can edit the photo, and just rotate =p.

    It was $90, and each set of 2 shelves were $25... Unknowingly, we went on 'eat free' weekend, and our entire lunch order was taken off our purchase, so we got one set of shelves 'for free' :)

    Can you post that tutorial and the item number that the wardrobe is? This is a lot sleeker than the "Frugal herpers rack" which I have. Just more professional looking.

    I am wondering if the Pax ones are not online. I definitely need to get some of these after our move.
